History of Taylorsville United Methodist Church

The Methodist Church has been present in the Taylorsville community since 1833.

• The church was established on January 12, 1833. 
• For 1833-1841, the Methodists and the Baptists shared the “Meeting House” on Garrard Street.

• The present structure stands on land purchased from Benjamin and Polly Wells on May 25, 1841.
• The original building was constructed around 1841 or 1842.

• After suffering from numerous floods, the structure’s flooring, sidewalls and windows were raised 3 feet in 1913.

• An educational wing and parsonage were added in 1952.
• The United Methodist Church was created in 1968 when the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church merged, and later adopted the cross and flame logo.

• In the early 1980’s, the church acquired its Malmark Bellcraftsmen handbells to allow musical performances by our handbell choir.

• The United Methodist Church, First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and All Saints Catholic Church entered a historic Covenant relationship in 1986. Our purpose: to work toward unity within the Body of Christ.

• The 1990’s brought major interior renovations to the sanctuary.
• Family Fellowship Hall was completed in 2003.
• In 2013 Pew Cushions and a Sound System were installed and Family Hall was upgraded.
• In 2014 a spacious Parking Lot was constructed to make “a Space” for all, and was illuminated with lighting in 2016 for safety.
• New Front doors added in 2023
